New York School Liability Attorneys

When we send our precious children to school, the last thing we think, or want to think, about is getting a call from the school about them suffering a serious injury. Unfortunately, schoolyard and playground accidents happen every day. Each year approximately 211,000 U.S. school children receive emergency room care for injuries sustained on faulty playground equipment, making the use of this equipment the leading cause of injuries to children in school and child care environments.

In New York City, a recent study found that protective surfacing under and around all play equipment is the most critical safety factor on playgrounds. However, 17 of the 46 (which equates to nearly 37 percent) playgrounds surveyed failed to provide an adequate protective surface.

However, it is important to note that school related injuries are not limited to faulty playground equipment. Your child or a young loved one can be injured as a result of a variety of other school related incidents as well, such as abuse and assault.
